Very like C.pamphilus (infra, p. 225), but larger; sometimes 

 nearly twice as large. Wings nearly uniform in colour above 

 and below. Fore-wings almost always shoeing one or two 

 indistinct eyes ; hind-wings with at most one or two indis- 

 tinct eyes near the anal angle. Eyes distinct beneath ; fore- 

 wings with one eye at the tip, and rarely one or two smaller 

 ones. Hind-wings grey, with a white transverse band, which 

 is much interrupted, and sometimes reduced to two white 

 spots. Hind-wings with five or six eyes parallel to the hind- 

 margin, the uppermost largest ; that nearest the anal angle often 

 double, or represented by two very small eyes close together. 

 The insect varies greatly in the size and number of the eyes. 



It appears in June in low-lying meadows, never in gardens, 

 woods, or corn-fields, and is constantly on the wing, very rarely 

 settling. Its flight, however, is slow, and it is easy to capture 

 on the wing. It is fairly common, but not very abundant. 



This is Von Rottenburg's account of the occurrence of the 

 Butterfly near Halle in 1776. This insect appears to be 

 identical with C. davus, of which Fabricius gives the following 

 account : — 



" A Butterfly of moderate size. Fore-wings above rounded,
